I have created IParticleSystemSceneNode.
but after i used it i want to drop it.But i can't drop it so how can i stop it from existing?

I'm not positive, but it seems like this may be what you need. You can check out the use in tech demo source:

virtual ISceneNodeAnimator* irr::scene::ISceneManager::createDeleteAnimator ( u32 timeMs ) [pure virtual]

Creates a scene node animator, which deletes the scene node after some time automaticly.

Parameters:
when: Time in milliseconds, after when the node will be deleted.

Returns:
Returns the animator. Attach it to a scene node with ISceneNode::addAnimator() and the animator will animate it. If you no longer need the animator, you should call ISceneNodeAnimator::drop(). See IUnknown::drop() for more information.

The problem is that i don't need to eliminate the node after some time but after a button isn't pressed.
There got to be another way...

Cleves, you could try 'scenenode->remove()'

cheers

So simple but it works

But...If the ship accelerates and the button is not pressed(that means that the nodes are removed) the nodes still remain..maybe bug but i'm not sure yet i'll do more testing

Thanks Gorgon

i think you try to make something like an afterburner

or so, which lights when you accelerate? why don't you trigger the visibility of the particle node with your key e.g. node->setVisible(...)' or something like that?

Yes, you guessed what i wanted to do and the setVisible idea worked great!

Thanks Zola
